Hannover Garden

Behind the Former Hiroshima Municipal Stadium, there is a green zone called ""Hannover Garden."" This garden is named after the city of Hannover in Germany, which is a sister city of Hiroshima. It is a sunken garden imitating a part of the Gardens of Herrenhausen in Hannover. Its distinguishing point is that the whole garden is in the shape of the crest of Hannover.Hannover had great damage from the war, as well as Hiroshima, so both cities made a sister city relationship wishing for peace. There remains a church in Hannover whose cieling was sunken by air raids, inside that church hangs a bell given by Hiroshima.
